Road Traffic
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an estimate of the potential impact of traffic congestion on the economy.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Department for Transport publishes transport analysis guidance to help assess the economic cost of congestion associated with different policy interventions. It also regularly publishes statistics on speeds, delay and reliability on different types of roads. However, it does not routinely assess the economic cost of congestion on the road network as a whole.
